⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (9,617 endorsements) — this is a go-to for level cap removal.
- Does exactly what it says: no bloat, just a clean level cap increase.
- Over 252,000 downloads show it's been tested by a massive player base.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2009 — may not be compatible with modern Fallout 3 setups or DLC.
- No documentation on how it interacts with other mods that alter leveling or perks.
- Raising the cap to 99 might make the game trivial if you're not using difficulty mods.
